I'm happy to announce that WrestlingFans now has 1000 members! When I created this group back in 2009 I never dreamed it would be this big. I know there are bigger groups, but I'm grateful to have the amount we have. Congratulations to our 1000th member calklais. I want to thank all the members of this group for making this possible.

WWE Hall of Famer Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, regarded as one of the greatest managers and all-around performers in wrestling history has died at the age of 73. Heenan was also known for his great wit behind the announce desk alongside the late great Gorilla Monsoon on WWE broadcasts and later during his years in WCW. The news was confirmed in a tweet by Jim Ross who worked closely with Heenan for a number of years.

Heenan's cause of death is not known at this time but he had been battling a number of health issues dating back to 2002 when he was diagnosed with throat cancer which he overcame but left his appearance dramatically altered by a subsequent reconstructive surgery on his jaw. He also battled tongue cancer which affected his ability to talk. In recent years Heenan has suffered two broken a hips, shoulder and his pelvis following falls.

Despite his serious health issues and difficulty talking he became a fixture at many independent wrestling conventions where he would become the star attraction.

On behalf of everyone here at WrestlingNewsSource.com, we send out deepest condolences to Heenan’s friends and family.
